   NE — 3 CD IN THE AT LARGE MATH

   THUS – TRUMP WAS DE FACTO ELECTED BY ABOUT 26 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL VOTES IN 29 STATES.
   SAME SORT OF MINORITY RULE MATH IN ALL PREZ ELECTIONS SINCE 1832.

   SAVE DEMOCRACY – ABOLISH THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
   UNIFORM DEFINITIION OF ELECTOR-VOTER IN ALL OF THE U.S.A.
   PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION FOR ELECTING ALL LEGISLATIVE BODIES.
   NONPARTISAN NOMINATIONS AND ELECTIONS OF ALL ELECTED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND ALL JUDGES.

2. It has just been reported that Colorado cast all 9 of its electoral votes for Clinton. Not a single Hamiltonian elector to be found there.

3. Colin Powell got 3 electoral votes, and Faith Spotted Eagle got 1 from Washington state. These appear to have been the only “faithless” votes cast so far.

4. It’s being reported that in Maine, Minnesota and in Colorado one elector in each of those states attempted to vote for Sanders and all were thwarted.

5. What would have been the consequence, if this elector had refused to change his vote on the “re-vote”?

6. I read a report that there were two faithless Texas electors,, but that all the votes are in and Trump has 304, which is enough. Any truth to that?

7. Saw the live footage for the Texas Electoral College. Someone voted for John Kasich and another voted for Ron Paul; I didn’t stay for the vice-presidential ballots.

8. It’s interesting that all 3 electors who wanted to vote for Sanders were either replaced, or persuaded to switch their vote to Clinton. Clintonian resentment?

9. There’s another step in the process. Congress still has to count the electoral votes in January, and if any Representative along with a Senator object to a state’s votes, they can force a debate and vote on acceptance of those electoral votes.

10. @ AMcCarrick:

    It ain’t gonna happen. If nothing happened today to challenge the outcome, then nothing more will happen in Congress other than the official certification of the electoral votes.

11. Clinton lost four votes in Washington State, three to Colin Powell(!) and one to Faith Spotted Eagle, a Native American activist involved in (among other things) the protest against the Dakota Access pipeline. According to this article, the elector who voted for Spotted Eagle for President also cast his VP vote for Winona LaDuke:

12. Walt…. Well if McCain genuinely believes that Russia was involved in hacking the election should he not support forcing the votes from Michigan and Wisconsin not to be counted? Seeing as how these two states are the only to show voting day anomalies compared to polls (every other state showed reasonably expected deviation from the polls). So he just needs a Representative to concur; he could easily find a Democrat… You can most certainly find a Democratic Senator too. And Biden presides over the vote count and can accept or reject the objection. If they block enough electoral votes they could put in Colin Powell now.

13. The Elephant Senator hacks in the NEW Congress on 6 Jan 2017 will over-rule any objections.

    The State and USA regimes are ALL gerrymander oligarchies with top HACK State Govs. and Prezs — since 1776 and 1789 respectively.

    I.E. 2016 = ONE more EVIL ROTTED gerrymander election,
